Climate change and migration narratives through culture and policy

Description du projet

Récits alarmistes sur les migrations et le changement climatique

La menace croissante du changement climatique et la montée du discours sur les migrations et les frontières ont suscité des débats intenses, souvent alimentés par des récits alarmistes et dangereux. Toutefois, ces discussions ont tendance à négliger les besoins politiques, économiques et sociaux des personnes les plus touchées par le changement climatique. Soutenu par le programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie, le projet CLIMINAR étudiera le rôle des récits culturels et institutionnels dans le soutien ou la remise en question du discours alarmiste dominant sur les migrations et le changement climatique. Il examinera les récits à travers diverses institutions et supports culturels, y compris les politiques des ONG, la fiction et le cinéma, tout en explorant leurs implications éthiques. L’objectif ultime est de comprendre comment les récits alarmistes façonnent les politiques et les perceptions.

Objectif

This project examines two key aspects of the international discourse on climate change and migration: culture and policy. This discourse has become increasingly urgent during the 21st century as governments, institutions and the media fiercely debate climate change on the one hand and migration and borders on the other. Dominated by the Global North, the discourse has promoted alarmist assertions of climate change and migration as inextricably connected and destined to provoke conflict and scarcity, assertions often underpinned by a racialised military-security rhetoric. This discourse also routinely overlooks the real economic, political and social needs of those most affected by climate change and the discriminatory mobility regimes that govern them. To date research on the role played by narrative has been limited, nor have the intersections between culture and policy been studied. Recognising that climate change and migration are made known through different forms of narration and storytelling, through which certain interpretations or potential policy responses are favoured while others are discounted, CLIMINAR addresses the following question:

What role do cultural and institutional narratives play in either challenging or upholding the dominant alarmist discourse on climate change and migration?

The overarching research objectives are to: (1) analyse cultural narratives, in particular fiction and film; (2) examine institutional narratives, specifically policy material produced by NGOs and international governmental organisations, as forms of culture; and (3) comparatively assess all texts by developing and implementing a methodology that ascertains the ethical dimensions of narrative and its ability to incorporate both climate justice and mobility justice. This interdisciplinary approach innovatively combines the environmental humanities and social sciences research on climate change and migration, simultaneously advancing knowledge in both fields.
